$2500 Turbo Kit update 11/2/08 - Page 3 - Toyota Yaris Forums

PETERPOOP · 11-04-2008, 12:55 PM

I know what you are saying, but I don't think most of us here will have a hood that will work with the placement of the I/C there. I know I will be spending all my money on this kit and won't have extra cash for an unpainted hood, then to ship it here, then to have it painted. I think the original placement of the I/C is the most accommadating.

thats the reason i would put it lower and angled so you can get air from the front grille. It would look and work very well IMO. . .

**THIS IS NOT MEANT TO BE INSULTING ACCUSATORY OR CONFRONTATIONAL**

Who is this guys whos making this anyway? Does he have/work in a shop?
Or just a dedicated gear head?

PETERPOOP · 11-04-2008, 01:41 PM

Well what's significant about getting air through the grill and not the lower valance? i'm just confused

Thej3sta2 · 11-04-2008, 02:24 PM

that was just a concept i mean of course youll have cooler air from downstairs but i just made my suggestion for the piping purpose cuase its less piping for the intercooler. I dont know im not a turbo head like eveyone else. But that setup would have been pretty sweet a production induction hood.

it would work well with my induction hood design

Thej3sta2 · 11-04-2008, 03:24 PM

that would actually work very well. . .

Thej3sta2 · 11-04-2008, 03:24 PM

This thread was crazy hijacked. Either way, I'm looking forward to seeing the outcome. I'm glad that most of you stuck around after the data loss.

PETERPOOP · 11-04-2008, 10:24 PM

Oh don't worry. I'm not going nowhere without this kit in my car.

Thej3sta2 · 11-04-2008, 11:12 PM

CAJUIN · 11-05-2008, 12:52 AM

hey im in miami also usually near miami lakes or biscayne

jones · 11-05-2008, 07:00 AM

+ 1 with the scoop a la Impreza WRX. If you've ever seen under the hood of a WRX it looks exactly like this.
I reckon the yaris would look awesome with a WRX hood scoop.

My only problem with this is whether it will clear an aftermarket intake manifold when they are completed. You gotta remember you need the clearance for that. If the clearance is fine, then I say a late model Celica style scoop.

Also, is there going to be a heat shield offered for the ECM? Looks kinda close to it in terms of the heat being let off.

well that style is a good concept cause the tilt would be fucional depending on the intake mani. the mor it stick out give it a better angle. . .

I would like to know the opinion from the guy making the kit...
